*Official* Australia v Pakistan ODIs UAE 2019

[trundler]

Good for Rizwan.

It's weird how we think of a century at a strike rate of say, 80 as slow and we're more used to centuries coming off 80 balls.

 

[trundler]

What do we think of Finch the captain? Sets the field well.

 

[trundler]

Good knock from Malik. Should've sent Imad in.

 

[mr_mister]

if the icc would simply listen to me and remove over restrictions

I agree with this actually. I hate fielding restrictions and how there's a designated exciting period

 

[trundler]

Grr. He was playing some awesome shots. Anticlimactic end. Great knock though. Should replace the croucher.

 

[trundler]

45 in the last 3 would be nice.

Am I the only one actually watching the game?

 

[trundler]

Lmao this is an even flatter wicket than the previous one and Pakistan won't even get 280.

Another day, another subpar total.

So why didn't Jhye bowl his full 10 overs? Seems odd only having 5 overs to his name.

 

[trundler]

Once again Imad was sent in too ****ing late. Should be the first bat in after the 40th over. A better bat than Faheem. Grr.

Fell pretty hard on his elbow. Dove to his right, fully stretched trying to save a boundary. Lost his balance and landed on his elbow. Horrifying.

280 wont be enough against this confident Australia team

 

[slippy888]

Shadab been told he a 20 20 specialist already

 

[smash84]

why the hell are pakistan playing yasir shah?

is he even in contention for a wc spot?

 

[slippy888]

Yeah i thought shah was done with in one day format

 

[trundler]

why the hell are pakistan playing yasir shah?

is he even in contention for a wc spot?

Yes I don't quite understand either. He offers nothing. Sucked ass in the PSL. He's just a nothing bowler in this format. Shadab needs to be in the team ahead of him. In England, Imad with Malik as backup should suffice.

 

[trundler]

Khawaja in red hot form. Brilliant stroke play.

Is it too late to pick him for Pakistan?

 

[vcs]

Both Finch and Khawaja looking good. Australian batsmen have picked up form.

 

[vcs]

Hasnain seems to have been picked purely on potential and/or PSL performances. Has only played 2 FC matches.

 

[Top_Cat]

Yeah before any Aussies trumpet a return to form for the Aussie side, should bear in mind the oppo.

That said, nothing like a winning feeling to take into a big tournament. I may need to rescind my WC thread prediction that they wouldn’t win game. They should beat Afghanistan now.
